John,

Good idea! Do you think we can all see this code of your? Originally, I did not include service accounts before we have a separate network for our production and development server so I did not think about adding that feature.

Glad to see everyone's ideas on how to enhance this code.

Thanks,

Rudy

Rudy,

The code below returns the names of SQLService and SQLAgent accounts.
Works on 2000, 2005 and 2008 as far as I can tell:

DECLARE @NamedInstance bit
IF CAST(SERVERPROPERTY('ServerName') AS varchar) LIKE '%\%' SET @NamedInstance = 1 ELSE SET @NamedInstance = 0

DECLARE @ServiceName varchar(50)

IF @NamedInstance = 0
BEGIN
SET @ServiceName = 'MSSQLSERVER'
END
ELSE
BEGIN
SET @ServiceName = 'MSSQL$' + RIGHT(CAST(SERVERPROPERTY('ServerName') AS varchar),LEN(CAST(SERVERPROPERTY('ServerName') AS varchar)) - CHARINDEX('\',CAST(SERVERPROPERTY('ServerName') AS varchar),1))
END

DECLARE @KEY_VALUE varchar(100)
DECLARE @ServiceAccountName varchar(100)

SET @KEY_VALUE = 'SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\' + @ServiceName
EXECUTE master..xp_regread 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE', @KEY_VALUE, 'ObjectName', @ServiceAccountName OUTPUT
SELECT @ServiceAccountName as 'SQLService Account'
IF CAST(SERVERPROPERTY('ServerName') AS varchar) LIKE '%\%' SET @NamedInstance = 1 ELSE SET @NamedInstance = 0

IF @NamedInstance = 0
BEGIN
SET @ServiceName = 'SQLSERVERAGENT'
END
ELSE
BEGIN
SET @ServiceName = 'SQLAgent$' + RIGHT(CAST(SERVERPROPERTY('ServerName') AS varchar),LEN(CAST(SERVERPROPERTY('ServerName') AS varchar)) - CHARINDEX('\',CAST(SERVERPROPERTY('ServerName') AS varchar),1))
END

SET @KEY_VALUE = 'SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\' + @ServiceName

EXECUTE master..xp_regread 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE', @KEY_VALUE, 'ObjectName', @ServiceAccountName OUTPUT
SELECT @ServiceAccountName as 'SQLAgent Account'

Cheers,

JohnA

Hi,
I actually worked on this issue for almost half a day and I couldn't resolve a snack with John's code a few days ago, and I just gave up. Sad

He uses the following

DECLARE @KEY_VALUE varchar(100)
DECLARE @ServiceAccountName varchar(100) 

EXECUTE master..xp_regread 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE', @KEY_VALUE, 'ObjectName', @ServiceAccountName OUTPUT
SELECT @ServiceAccountName as 'SQLAgent Account'

however, I've run that code on several servers and in some of them the result is 'NULL'.
(it doesn't matter the service, it happens with several services).

The only thing I could figure out is that when I run the following code:


declare @regkey varchar (100)
SET @REGKEY = 'System\CurrentControlSet\Services\SQLAgent$instance_name'

EXEC master..xp_regenumvalues @rootkey='HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE',@key=@regkey

for the Object value I get the following:

Value                 data	 value	 data
ObjectName	.\sqlservice	NULL	NULL

It seems that for some cases the registry key has two sets of values, weird.

Anyone has ideas of why this might be?

Thank you

Miguel
